Research links variations in the gene GRIN2A to a higher risk of developing schizophrenia and other forms of mental illness.

A team of researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai has uncovered why children with the same leukemia-causing gene mutation can have dramatically different outcomes: It depends on when in development the mutation first occurs.

Researchers discovered that a tiny structural feature of the enzyme GPX4 helps keep neurons safe. A rare mutation removes this protection, allowing harmful molecules to damage cell membranes and trigger early dementia.

Basic knowledge about the rate and range of mutation is central to our understanding of numerous evolutionary processes that include maintaining sexual reproduction and rates of molecular evolution. Although mutation rates are known to vary among species ...

The SERENA-6 trial shows a 54% reduced risk of death with camizestrant, with a median PFS of 16.6 months versus 9.2 months for aromatase inhibitors.
